Nations, like individuals, have generally a natural growth. Cer- 
tain epochs in their history will be marked by some new develop- 
ment. In this respect our country forms no exception. Passing 
over our Colonial pupilage, we had a long and painful struggle with 
our mother country, till we wrung from her an acknowledgment of 
our independence. But the treaty was general in its character, and 
somewhat ambiguous in some of its provisions. Great Britain, in 
her natural haughtiness, and smarting under the loss of her colonies, 
was disposed to put her own construction upon the treaty, and to 
carry out its provisions in a manner most promotive of her inclina- 
tion and interest. 

Jay's treaty in 1794, did little more than to postpone certain 
misunderstandings between the two nations. Regarding herself as 
mistress of the ocean, and the arbiter of all maritime questions, Eng- 
land assumed the right of dictating to our country the course we must 
pursue on all commercial subjects. Among her haughty measures, 
she enforced the right of blockading the entire coast of her enemies, 
substituting for the adequate force which the law requires to render 
the blockade valid, her orders in council ; thus rendering our ships 
liable to capture which attempted to trade with France or any nation 
subject to her control, which at that time, constituted almost the en- 
tire continent ot Europe. She also claimed and exercised the right 
<5/i-6'a;r/i, by which her naval officers were authorized to board any 
of our ships on the pretence that they were searching for English sea- 
men who were unlawfully serving on board of our vessels. Under 
that assumed authority, her naval commanders entered on board our 
ships, and seized any* one they suspected to be an English subject, 
and compelled him to serve in their navy, — they assuming the sole 
right to judge, — and in some ca^es, they seized our citizens who had 
their official protections in their hands, bearing the seal of our own 
government. 

By these arbitrary exercises of unlawful power, our commerce 
was put in jeopardy, and our citizens deprived of that protection 
which every nation is bound to extend to its subjects. Our trade 
was not only practically cut off from Europe ; but the boarding of our 



ADDRESS. 



merchant vessels, and taking off a portion of their crew, might, and 
in some cases did, endanger their safe na\igation. And the impress- 
ment of our seamen was nothing less than an act of war — a system of 
man-stealing of which no honorable nation would be guilty, and 
to which no free nation would submit. For these and other griev- 
ances, our country had recourse to arms. And the encroachments 
upon our rights were amply sufficient to justify a declaration of 
war. In fact the honor of our country called us to the field. We 
could not claim the honor of being a free and independent nation, 
while the right of navigating the ocean, and of protecting our hardy 
mariners were- subject to the will of a haughty and arbitrary foreign 
power. The war of 1 812 was essential to our national freedom, and 
has justly been denominated the Second War of Independence. 

I have been thus particular in stating the causes of this war, and 
the questions at issue, because in the mutations of national events, 
these subjects have been in a great degree overlooked and forgotten. 
But they form an important link in the chain of our history. What 
if England had acknowledged us a free and independent nation? if 
we permitted her to rob us of the essential prerogatives of sovereign- 
ty, we could not boast of being free. The war of 181 2 was an asser- 
tion of our essential rights — a proclamation to the world that we 
should maintain our character and be in fact a free and sovereiarn 
power ; and while we gladly acknowledged the rights of other nations, 
we were determined to maintain our own. This war was but the 
carrying out of the declaration of Independence, and showing Great 
Britain that we would sustain the character which she recognized, 
when by solemn treaty she declared us a free and independent na- 
tion. Our Revolutionary fathers continued the painful struggle, till 
the insane king and haughty ministry of England were compelled to 
admit us into the family of nations ; and the heroes of the second 
war of Independence maintained our rights, till the boasted mistress 
of the ocean was willing to see the stars and stripes float upon' the 
wave, and our canvas whiten every sea. 

Our illustrious ancestors who laid broad and deep the founda- 
tion of our free institutions, and whom our country delighted to 
honor, have gone to their rest, rejoicing we hope, in the rich patrimo- 
ny they have left us. \x\<\ where are the patriots who finished the 
work which their fathers begun — who not only approved the founda- 
tion and admired the structure, but were the instruments by whom 
the key-stone which binds the whole was brought on with rejoicing. 
They, alas, have mostly gone to their long homes. .\ few of us re-

main — " A chosen seed of Israel's race, a remnant weak and small." 
We have been permitted to wait, and witness the fruit of our labor 
and suffering. My venerable friends and comrades, you will permit 
me to address you as though I were not one of your number. 
I see by your hoary locks and bending forms that you came 
down from a former generation, and something more than ordinary 
has brought you here this day. The ties of military brotherhood 
and the consciousness that you served your country, have animated 
you and brought you here once more to meet your companions in 
arms, and rejoice with them that when your country called, you were 
among those who came forward in her defence ; and the motto upon 
your banners, or the words upon your lips, were, Free Trade and 
Sailoi's Rights, must and shall be maintained. You obeyed the 
call of your countrj-, and contributed to humble the proud foe which 
boasted of being Queen of the Isles and of the seas. You with 
others of your countrymen, taught her that freemen contending for 
their rights, were more than a match for her foreign hirelings. You 
taught her that neither her boasted legions, her hired Germans, nor 
her savage allies, would in the end, prevail in the t\Tannical attempt 
to subjugate freemen fighting for their homes and fire-sides — their 
wives and children. The bloody fields of Chippewa, of Niagara, of 
Plattsburg, and the Thames, showed her that Americans had not de- 
generated since the capture of Burgoyne and Cornwallis ; and our 
victories on the ocean and on the Lakes, contained conclusive e\-i- 
dence that her boasted marine superiorty, was as hollow as Sier pre- 
tended glory was vain. 

She found to her surprise and mortification that her supposed invin- 
cibility upon the water was not only challanged, but confuted by the 
hardy sons of New England. She found by experience that though 
our na\y was small, it had a firm and enduring " Constitution," and 
when she strove to divert us and to turn our eff"orts into mere sport 
by sending us her "Frolic," she found that our "Wasp," though 
harmless when left to herself; would exhibit her sting, when disturbed 
even by a Frolic ; and when she had dispatched the disturber of her 
nest she would pursue the '• Reindeer " to the very chops of the 
British channel. Not satisfied with this. Great Britain dispatched 
her " Peacock," a fit emblem of her vain show, and though she 
spread her rear gaiety, and boasted like the rest of the British crafts, 
that her home was on the deep, our "Hornet" with less show, but with 
sure aim taught her in fifteen minutes that her home in future should 
be in rather than on the deep. And when the boasted mistress of 



6 ADDRESS. 

the ocean found that she could not divert us from our patriotic pur- 
pose by the sport of the Frolic, or the vain spread of her Peacock, she 
resolved to have recourse to blows and sent her ^'Boxer" to our coast ; 
but she soon found to her mortification and grief that we had "^«- 
terprise'' sufficient to meet any attack — that we conld not only parry 
a well-aimed blow, but could give a fatal thrust in return. 

When England's crazy monarch and her haughty ministry found 
themselves baffled on the land and defeated on the water ; and that 
the names of Hull, Decatur, Bainbridge, Jones, Porter, Perry, and 
McDonough, would go down to posterity with their Nelson and Rod- 
ney, they felt disposed to give up the contest. But did this mistress 
of the ocean, this arbiter of the fate of nations, come forward honor- 
ably and confess her errors, and promise to sin no more? No ; she 
submitted to a jiolicy more cringing and humiliating than any open 
stipulation would be. She virtually implored us not to demand any 
confession — not to ask her to say that she would give up her favorite 
custom of the Right of Search, or to confess that she had erred in 
doctrine of the rights of belligerents in time of war. Her language 
properly interpreted was : Do not humiliafe us ; sheath the snwrd ; 
give us peace, and we will give you no trouble in future — nor has she 
on those points. 

And thus, fellow soldiers, we have contributed our share in main- 
taining the interest and honor of our country — in giving security to 
our hardy seaman and in enjoying the rights of neutrals in times of 
war. And for more than half a century, we have been permitted by 
a merciful Providence to behold the growth and glory of our country. 
And it is a consolation, a matter of laudable pride, that we can say, 
that we were among those who wore willing to cast their lot with our 
country, come weal or come woe. We glory in our past ser\'ices and 
in the association into which we have entered, which has kept alive 
in some degree, that war which finally confirmed our freedom and 
established our standing among the nations of the earth. 

The im])ortance of the war in which we were engaged, and con- 
sequently the worth of our services, were not fully acknowledged at 
the time by the people in our midst. The war, preceded as it was 
!))• an embargo and other restrictions upon our ir.ule, operated se- 
verely upon the commercial interest of New England ; and hence 
tile war was rather unpopular in this section of tiie country. This 
opposition to the war was carried to an unreasonable extent, and 
proved the overthrow of the Federal party at the north. Under 
these circumstances our services were not fully appreciated by our 



ADDRESS. 7 



friends and neighbors. But when the people had recovered from the 
embarrassments of the war and the doctrines estabhshed by that war 
were seen in the extension of our commerce, they were ready to ad- 
mit that the freedom of the seas, the protection of our seamen, 
and the exemption of our ships from the right of search, were nation- 
al blessings — sovereign ])rerogatives, which every indeijendcnt nation 
must enjoy. 

With this enlargement of views, the worth of our services, were 
acknowledged. A feeling pervaded the country that the war of 1S12 
was one important link in the development of our country's rights ; 
and that the men who stood by their country in that crisis, were en- 
titled to the gratitude of the nation. The soldiers who had served in 
that war, without being officious, made a general movement in 1853, 
to form organizations in the different states to sustain a^ social feeling, 
to encourage love of country and the cause of human rights. There 
was a simultaneous movement in New York, Philadelphia and Bos- ^ 

ton. In Boston, Maj. Thomas Harrison, Levi T. Prescott, Esq., and 
others, mostly of the 9th Regiment of U. S. Infantry, adopted meas- 
ures which resulted in the Association of soldiers of the war of 1S12. 
The Association was organized Nov. 15, 1853, by the choice of iVla- 
jor Harrison, President, and Levi T. Prescott, Secretary. From that 
day to the present time, the Association has kept up its semi-annual 
meetings on the fourth of July and on the twenty-second of Febru- 
ary, the birth-day of Washington, deeming these the most appropri- 
ate days to keep active our devotion to our country. Our members 
have increased to the number of two hundred and twenty ; and have 
included men of all callings an;l professions; antl in regard to char- 
acter and social standing, they would compare favorably with any or- 
ganization in the Commonwealth. We have had among our mem- 
bers, two Generals, eleven Colonels, seven Majors, eight Captains, 
six Clergymen, three doctors, and one member of Congress. After 
the death of Major Harrison, our first President, Col. .Aspinwall was 
chosen in his place, who was continued by annual elections till 1874, 
when Hon. Charles Hudson was chosen his successor, and has filled 
that office till the present day. The office of Secretary was filled by 
Levi T. Prescott, Esq., twenty years, when his son, John J. Prescott, 
filled the office one year, and was succeeded by Col. William Good- 
win and John S. Brown. 

After the soldiers had formed their Association, and public at- 
tention was in this manner called to the subject of the war of 181 2, and 
to the soldiers who had served therein, our .\ssociation has received 



ADDRESS. 



due attention from the public, having been invited to most of the 
celebrations and public gatherings in the State. The press, also, 
have given favorable notice of us and our meetings. And even Con- 
gress, at a late period, has acknowledged the value of our services by 
granting us a small stipend of a pension. 

Our Association has been perfectly harmonious in all its actions ; 
and ignoring all party names, it has often adopted Resolutions sus- 
taining the action of the Government in maintaining the honor of the 
flag and the integrity of the Union ; and though it has not held itself 
out as a charitable institution, it has relieved the wants of its mem- 
bers whenever it had means at its disposal. 

On the whole, we have reason to rejoice in the part we took in 
the war which supplemented and perfected the treaty of 1783, and 
secured to our commerce the freedom of the seas, and gave us the 
rights and prerogatives of a sovereign nation. We also congratulate 
ourselves that we have enjoyed and we believe profited by the inter- 
course which this Association has afforded. We, therefore, owe a debt 
of gratitude to the ardent patriots who first conceived and who early 
sustained the Association ; and though the first Jwo Presidents came 
from the service maimed in body, they were whole-souled, and show- 
ed themselves ready to make any other offering which their country 
might require. With a consciousness that we have rendered our 
country some service, and with an acknowledgment for the respect 
which the public have shown us, we have resolved to disband our As- 
sociation. And this we do, not from any disaffection, but from the 
fact that our numbers have been greatly reduced by death, and that 
the distant location of many, and the increasing age and infirmity of 
all, render it difficult to keep up a meeting of any respectable size. 
At our last meeting, which was on a very favorable day, we had but 
fifteen members, whose average age was eighty-five years, and four 
of them were ninety and over. 

We have reason to rejoice that our lives have been prolonged so 
that we have witnessed the extension and growth of our country, and 
the adaptation of our institutions both to peace and to war ; and 
above all, that we have lived to see the foul stain of human servitude 
blotted out from our escutcheon. We have enjoyed the blessings of 
freedom, and rejoiced in the honor our country has acquired abroad. 
She has become the asylum of tiie op[)ressed of all nations — a name 
and a praise to the whole earth. 

Antl now fellow soldiers and comrades, as we are about to part 
to meet no more on eartli. let us extend the hand of brotherhood 
and say as none but soldiers can, in the same spirit — f.-vrewell. 



AF'PEINDIX. 



"The New England Association of the Soldiers of the War of 
1812," originated in a good degree, with the members of the 9th. 
Regiment of the United States Infantry, who had served on the Can- 
adian Frontier. Among the most active were Major Thomas Har- 
rison and Levi T. Prescott, Esq. The origin of the Association and 
the character of its members were briefly described by Levi T. Pres- 
cott, their secretary at one of their meetings. Colonel Aspinwall oc- 
cupying the chair. 

"This Association," said he, "was first organized Nov. 15, 1853, 
by a small number who served shoulder to shoulder in the army, on 
the Niagara Frontier, in Canada, most of whom, like yourself Mr. 
President, have unmistakable marks of having performed their duty as 
soldiers in the cause of their country. The 9th Regiment, with the 
nth, 22d, and 25th, comprised General Scott's Brigade at the 
battles of Chippewa and Lundy's Lane, which received the highest 
approbation for firmness and bravery in these severe conflicts. These 
Regiments, as is well known, were under your command, Mr. Presi- 
dent, in the sortie on the British batteries, from Fort Erie, that com- 
pelled them to abandon the seige." 

The Association was first organized by the choice of Major 
Thomas Harrison, as president ; and Levi T. Prescott, secretary. 
Major Harrison commanded a company in the 9th Regiment, and in 
the desperate charge at Chippewa lost his leg ; and out of his full com- 
pany of 96 men, only 15 were left unhurt after the shock. Harrison 
refused to be carried to the rear, but urged his men who loved him as 
a father, to go forward and do their duty. He died June 27, 1S56, 
aged 64 years. He was buried with military honors. The associa- 
tion passed resolutions highly commending his worth as a soldier 
and patriot, and expressing their grief at the loss of a loved comrade.

lO APPENDIX. 



On the death of Major Harrison, Colonel Thomas Aspinwall 
was elected to fill his place as president. Aspinwall distinguished 
himself on the frontier, especially in the sortie from Fort Erie, in 
which he lost an arm. As a reward for his military services he was 
appointed Consul to London, where he remained about fortv years. 
He was elected president of our association without interruption or 
opposition, i8 years, or till his death which occured April, 1876, when 
his place was filled by Hon. Charles Hudson, till the dissolution of the 
association. 

The office of Vice President has been filled by General Samuel 
Chandler, who served 10 years; who has been succeeded successive- 
ly by Colonel Daniel Lane, Colonel Samuel Stinson, Hon. Charles 
Hudson, Colonel Henry Little, and William A. Parker, Esq. 

The office of Secretary was first filled by Levi T. Prescott, who 
continued in office by annual elections about twenty years — a good 
proof of his fidelity; he died April, 1874, when he was succeeded by 
his son, who served one year, and who was followed by Col. ^^'illiam 
Goodwin and John S. Brown. 

The Association has included in its list of members not only dis- 
tinguished military men, but we have had six clergymen, among whom 
were Rev. William Jenks, D. D., distinguished not only as a divine 
but as a scholar and author, and Rev. Eleazer ^L P. Wells, D. D., 
and others. In the medical profession we have had Dr. E. S. Phelps, 
Dr. Jonathan Ware and Dr. Amos Farnsworth. 

The fact that we have chosen the 4th of July and the birthday of 
Washington (Feb. 2 2d,) for our meetings, shows that our Association 
was to be devoted to the love of our country. .And from time to 
time, when the exigency appeared to require, we have spoken free- 
ly. Everything has been perfectly harmonious from the first, and 
when we have adopted any Resolutions, unanimity has marked their 
character. Li 1S56, Resolutions were adopted in condemnation of 
any policy or measure, calculated to 'array any one section of the 
country against the other ; and in the midst of our late rebellion the 
Association spoke out plainly in condemnation of the authors of the 
unnatural contest, who should be held responsible for their treason ; 
and at the same time expressed their entire confidence in the justice 
of our cause, and in the wisdom and patriotism of the national Execu- 
tive ; and gave our solemn jjledge to sustain and sui)port him as far 
as possible in his efforts to save the Republic, and give freedom to 
the slaves.
